My Favorite Homemade Flu Remedies

I’ve shared lots of cold and flu remedies including this delicious warm drink that’s become our family favorite when we start feeling puny: my cranberry spiced cider  Cold & Flu Brew  And here’s a post all about what we do when we start feeling puny during flu season. Here are my best flu remedies (and what we do to try to avoid getting sick in the first place.)

I also highly recommend getting to know elderberry herb if you haven’t yet. This is an herb that I can harvest locally and make a cold and flu remedy with it. 

I make a big batch of syrup every other year and share or freeze the extras. I make it in my crock pot, and it’s super simple to throw together. If I can do it, you can do it too! I offer two variations: a very basic elderberry syrup recipe, and a super jazzed up version with other herbs that really gets that immune system pumping. Get the elderberry recipes here.
